Steven Jack Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill K DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from the valley of the sun. Steven Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about your contribution, how your contribution to Land Academy, it's not really based on how many deals you've completed. Jill K DeWit: You know what's funny? People think like, oh, oh, I really can't weigh in on this or I don't think you want my opinion or no, you don't want me on the podcast yet because I've only done X number of deals and it might even be 40, kind of thing. But we're going to talk more about it. No, we want to hear about that. Steven Jack Butala: Later this week, we're interviewing a career path graduate. Jill K DeWit: Who's not done a lot of deals. Steven Jack Butala: For an alumni, he's done zero. He's bought a lot and they are in the process of selling and closing on the deals, but he's still bringing a ton. Jill K DeWit: Yeah. There's still some great value there. Steven Jack Butala: Yeah. Jill K DeWit: Yeah. Steven Jack Butala: You know, he's owned, there's all kinds of other great stuff, like he's owned. You'll see on Wednesday, he's... Jill K DeWit: And we'll talk about it in the show here. Steven Jack Butala: He's owned a business for 30 years. Jill K DeWit: Yep. Steven Jack Butala: All that experience being poured into his land career. Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on a landinvestors.com online community. It's free. And Jill has a good announcement for a live webinar that she's doing. Jill K DeWit: Yeah. Here's what I want you to know today. It's Monday. Okay. Two days from now, Wednesday, August 24th, 2022, 2:00 Pacific Time, you can catch me live on Facebook and YouTube. It's going to be called Catching up with Land Academy. And it's all about changes we've made this year in 2022 and why it's a great time to start your land investing career. Steven Jack Butala: We've made a ton. Jill K DeWit: So if you're not a member or even if you are a member and you want to just show up and give me some love, you're going to want to be there. And I have a special announcement coming that day. That, hmm, let's just say, if you're not a member, this is for you, really for you. So I'll have some great stuff I'm giving away. Steven Jack Butala: We're constantly making improvements, but this year in particular, we've made a lot of improvements to :and Academy itself. Jill K DeWit: Yep. Steven Jack Butala: Because in response to this new economic environment we're in and how we're going to buy and how we're buying property really very, very inexpensively. We always buy it inexpensively, but now's a great time to get some huge margins. Jill K DeWit: 2022 changes. Steven Jack Butala: Yeah. Jill K DeWit: Exactly. And things we've noticed. Also, where is it again? I'm going to tell you. So Wednesday 8/24, two days from now, 2:00 Pacific Time. Go to the Land Academy Facebook page or Land Academy Facebook page or YouTube channel. I have to say that right. Okay. Scott wrote, "Here's a question that has been bouncing around in my head for a while. If you get a purchase agreement back on a really good deal and due diligence is good, does anyone in the group have them sign a different contract with a deposit or to make the contract ironclad? Or does everyone just move forward with the purchase agreement, which has no consideration included? So it's unenforceable and they can bail if they get a better one." I'm going to argue that even if you take, even if you do some money down, it's still unenforceable and they can bail, because that has happened. So I move forward with the standard agreement. That's what we do. Steven Jack Butala:
